The National Gallery
The National Gallery is visible in its full glory in the heart of the pedestrianised Trafalgar Square
. Its permanent collection houses some of the world’s most important paintings from as far back as the 13th century.
Gaze upon the works of greats such as Titian, da Vinci, Rembrandt, Monet, Renoir, Cezanne, Raphael and Van Gogh. Built in 1832-1833, in an attempt to outshine Paris’s Louvre, it aspires to make art accessible to all with free admission, a central location and extended opening hours.
The important thing in planning your visit is not to try and see everything. You could spend a week wandering through its hallowed halls, and still miss many of the greatest works of European art.
